 Love this tune. Went ahead and just recorded how I've been playing it for a few years while adding your intro riff (which is awesome btw) Will work on the other licks and can't wait to see if I can improve. Thanks!

Hi Chris, your lesson approach is great, thank you very much. I have been listening to these videos during my work week and just this morning finally got a chance to have guitar in hand in order to get it down! I hope to be less nervous in future submissions. ;)

Hey Zachariah, nice to have you on here! 

You sound really good and I appreciate how relaxed your hands look, especially your right hand. One thing that I notice which might be tripping you up at times is that your pick direction is inconsistent. There are times when it can be advantageous to sweep a couple of 8th or 16th notes for purposes of articulation, but I think it's important too to get a solid alternate picking foundation. You might check out the series on Soldier's Joy where I go pretty in depth on the alternate picking principle. But overall very nicely done! Looking forward to more!

Chris
